"Every artist was first an amateur."

Ralph Waldo Emerson, a great American writer said once that every artist was first an amateur.
This is true in many respects and I think thats why its so important for young people to get involved in the arts.

Every year, the Monmouth County Arts Council hosts the Teens Arts Festival, a two-day arts festival held at Brookdale Community College that is open to the public in order to celebrate and encourage young artists. They've scheduled the event to take place this year on Tues., March 18th, and Weds., March 19th!

I can't wait to check it out!
I'll follow up.

HI,
just an thought..
What is or shall I say who is an artist..someone who make a living out of is art..or the amateur who spends all his free time painting, drawing..etec.. Vincent van Goth never made a living out of his art but yet, he is classed as an artist...He was an amateur until the day he died...but now its a different story..
